Pictorial anticipatory guidance (PAG) sheets did not improve injury prevention information recall among low-income families compared to standard TIPP sheets. Comprehensive and repeated counseling efforts are likely needed for effective injury prevention in this population.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Public Health
  • Injury Prevention
  • Health Literacy

Background:

  • Health information materials in pediatric settings often present challenges due to caretakers' reading skills.
  • Low-income urban families face particular barriers in accessing and understanding health information.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of a pictorial anticipatory guidance (PAG) sheet versus a standard TIPP (The Injury Prevention Program) sheet in improving injury prevention information recall.
  • To assess the impact of limited-literacy materials on information retention among low-income urban families.

Main Methods:

  • A comparative study involving parents of children aged 6 years or younger attending an urban pediatric clinic.
  • Participants received either a PAG sheet or a TIPP sheet, alongside standard injury prevention counseling by a nurse.

  • Information recall was assessed via telephone questionnaire 14 to 28 days post-visit.

    • Main Results:

    • No significant difference in injury prevention information recall was found between the PAG and TIPP groups.
    • While most parents recalled receiving an information sheet, specific topic recall was limited in both groups.
    • The mean number of recalled injury topics was slightly higher in the PAG group (2.1) than the TIPP group (1.6), but not significantly.

    Conclusions:

    • Limited recall of injury prevention information persists several weeks after a clinic visit, irrespective of the information format.
    • Low literacy is not the sole determinant of poor recall; pictorial aids alone do not significantly enhance information retention.
    • Effective injury prevention strategies for this population necessitate comprehensive and recurrent educational interventions.
